Madison Base opens one week earlier than scheduled
EBS STAFF
Big Sky Resort had received more than 100 inches of snow as of EBS press time on Dec. 5 and set a new November snowfall record with 76 inches—190 percent of average for the month. Translation: the resort has some of the best early season conditions in its history and one of the deepest snowpacks in North America.
On Dec. 5, mountain operations opened the Dakota chairlift, bringing the total skiable terrain to 2,713 acres on 120 trails. Those numbers increase significantly with the Madison Base area opening Friday, Dec. 7, one week earlier than scheduled. Six Shooter and the Lone Tree Quad are spinning on the Moonlight side of the mountain and limited services are offered at the Madison Base, including lift ticket sales, lockers and restrooms, as well as grab-and-go food from Headwaters Grille. On Dec. 14, the resort plans to open all services at the Madison Base area.
The much-anticipated debut of the new Ramcharger 8 is still scheduled for mid-December, and the snow guns have been blanketing Andesite Mountain with man-made snow to ensure solid coverage once the lift is online. If you enjoy sliding down a mountain on boards, Big Sky Resort is the place to be right now.

This experience can activate and clear the chakras, release trauma, reset the nervous system, connect us with higher consciousness, and help us achieve self-actualization.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
